Never give up and don't ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I'm a firm believer that I don't worry about anything I can't control.

I don't listen to what people say about me and I don't read what they write about me. People can compare me to anyone they want to, but I'm not going to worry about it.
thinking worry people
People spend time worrying about things they think they have to have and lose perception of what they do have. You can have all the money and material things you want. If you aren't here to enjoy them, what good do they do?
